| Summary: | A study with 200 vencobb broilers was carried out to compare the effect of the use of Manno-Oligosaccharide & b-glucans of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall or growth promoter ( AGRIMOS&#174; ) feed in the diet @ 1Kg /ton of feed to the broiler. Diets were based on maize meal. A completely randomized experimental design was used, and the obtained data were evaluated by analysis. The following parameters were measured: feed intake, daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and mortality. After 6 weeks of fattening, the average live weight of broilers in the experimental group was 1821.11g, while the average live weight of broilers in control group was 1712.22g (P<0.01). Supplementation of Manno-Oligosaccharide & b-glucans preparation influence the achievement of higher live weights of broilers from the experimental group ( 5.37% ), compared to the control and enhanced feed conversion ( 8.45 % ). It was concluded that the effect of the inclusion of Manno-Oligosaccharide & b-glucans in the diet shows significantly higher body weight gain & improvement in feed efficiency as compared to the control diet.
